Is a dung beetle a vertebrate or an invertebrate?
All tyes of beetles are insects, and all insects are invertebrates. They have an exoskeleton, with no backbone or spinal cord. They belong to the Phylum Arthropoda, which includes organisms such as insects, spiders, centipedes and millipedes, and crustaceans.
Vertebrates include only some members of the Phylum Chordata: specifically, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.
Which of the following invertebrate organisms is a hermaphrodite?
I think it is D. Roundworm... I'm stuck on that question too :..(
What are 2 groups of simple invertebrates?
Invertebrates are animals without a backbone.
Some types of invertebrates are worms, sponges, jellyfish and spiders.
Yes, a ladybug is an invertebrate. Ladybugs do not have spines but have an exoskeleton (which means it wears it's protective 'bones' on the outside of it's body).
All insects are arthropods, thus all insects are also invertebrates.
Why are most land dwelling invertebrates small?
Few large invertebrates are found living on land becaus...... OH ooops I have to go sorry grrrrr i f'in hate this person!!!!i NEED this answer!!!!!!!!!!
because since they are big they might take up the whole space and they have no place to go. I f they get any larger or bigger than nobodies going to have a home and the invertebrates will be squished and crunched up. For instance a chip might get crunched up because they have no space

What is the nudibranch related to?
Nudibranchs are a diverse order of marine organisms of the subclass Opisthobranchia,class gastropoda, and phylum Mollusca (Hoover, 1999). These invertebrates are commonly called sea slugs and are popular in aquariums because they are brightly colored. In general these shell-less gastropods can be found in most marine benthic waters, including the Artic (Bryan & McClintock,1998). There are even a few tropical fresh water species. Nudibranchs can be separated into distinct sub-orders. Two such suborders are Doridacea, also known as Dorids, and Aeolidaecea, also known as Aeolids. The two can be differentiated by the shapes of their mantles. Their bodies are soft and and detorted compared to their twisted relatives, the snails. Nudibranchs are defined by their exposed gills, thus the name Nudibranch which means "naked gills." Their gills are located on the outside of their body instead of hidden in a mantle cavity. In Dorid nudibranchs, the gills are in flower-like structures are called branchial plumes located on their backs. The gills surround their anal opening, and can be retracted into a gill-pocket on the mantle. The mantle is wide and typically almost entirely encompasses the foot. Aeolids do not have gills, instead they posses tentacle-like cerata made of thin mantle tissue used for respiration and defense (Picton & Morrow,1994). Nudibranchs move using a foot for crawling and by undulating of their body to swim. (Caldwell & Donovan,2003).

Is a malabar civet a vertebrate or invertebrate?
Malabar civets are mammals and, like all mammals, they are vertebrates because they have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.
Is a lobster an invertebrate or a vertebrate?
An invertebrate, they have a carapace not a spine.
Vertebrates - animals with backbones - are a subset of the chordates (animals with a stiff rod along the back), and include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. All other multicelled animals, including lobsters, are invertebrates, including lobsters. Lobsters are arthropods, a large and complex invertebrate group that includes insects, spiders, crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, woodlice, ...) and other animals that are characterised by jointed legs and a hard exoskeleton (external skeleton, a bit like a suit of armour). Like other such animals, lobsters need to shed the exoskeleton periodically in order to grow. A new, larger exoskeleton is formed on the outside, which at first is soft and then quickly hardens. Vertebrates, which include me and you, can just grow without such moulting - their skeleton is inside, and grows continuously (as opposed to in stages), until any maximum size is reached.
No, a lobster is a crustacean.
Is the golden snub nosed monkey vertebrate or invertebrate?
The Golden lion, or Golden lion tamarin, is a mammal, and all mammals are vertebrates. They have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.
What kinds of animals are vertebrates and invertebrates?
most animals today are invertebrates. this includes things such as arthropods (insects) mollusks, echinoderms ( starfish) cnidarians (jellyfish) and many others. the mere presence ofinsects in that list easily makes invertebrates more numerous than vertebrates :)
Form of cnidarian that swims through water?
flatworm. Sometimes they're ugly, sometimes they're cute, but look up a pic!
Which bugs are bad for the garden?
Arthropods that damage plant parts to the point of interfering with or terminating biological, botanical, and zoological life cycles and natural histories are bugs that are bad for the garden. A garden-friendly behavioral standard can be set by adult birds and lepidopterans, who rarely feed upon nectar and pollen to the point of exhausting the plant's ability to keep producing such food sources which simultaneously are respectively attractants for and participants in reproduction-oriented activities. A garden-unfriendly standard is found among such defilers as aphids, insects that deplete a plant's life-giving nutrients channeled by capillary action upward from roots and photosynthetic products transported downward from leaves.
What are some invertebrates that live in Florida?
Several invertebrates are native to Florida. Five of those invertebrates native to Florida are jellyfish, snails, Christmas tree worms, dragonflies, and sponges.
Is a betta a vertabrate or invertebrate?
Its actually a invertebrate cause it has no backbone or spinal column
Where do sea anemones hide so that they dont get eaten?
Sea anemones do not hide, they are plants that small sea creatures hide in from predators, as they sting, but the smaller creatures that hide in them have adapted so they do not feel it much or at all.
